A wife beater and his wife lived in the apartment above us. About every three nights, he would get drunk and start beating his wife. You can imagine the noise with her falling and him running after her. I called the property manager and told her the next time it started, I was calling the police. The property manager said, "I wish you would. I get complaints about them and when I go over there, the wife said nothing is happening and my hands are tied."

I called the police the moment the next round started and the pig was arrested.

Thu Feb 19, 2026, 05:54 PM
Feb 19

There's no call for physical violence from either party in a relationship. Adults resolve their quarrels with words and care and compromise.

When my wife and I were newly married we got into an argument. Tempers flared, indelicate words were exchanged, and then she gave me an open-handed shove to the chest hard enough to push me back a few steps.

I was floored that she'd put hands on me in anger. I didn't know how to react at first. I took a moment to calm down and then said that was out of line. I'd never put hands on her in anger and should be able to expect the same from her and, if it happened again, we were done. It's never happened since.

That's not to say I'm a battered man or a victim of domestic violence. It's just an illustration that even in heated moments both parties have to be adults and keep their cool.

To this Tim jackwagon, I'd say no amount of disrespect from his wife merits a physical response. None, full stop. Use your words, meathead. If she's being that disrespectful and refuses to stop even after attempts at dialogue, be the bigger person and walk away. End it and find someone who will treat you respectfully.

But at the same time, ponder that respect is earned. You get respect by being a decent human, not a domestic tyrant ruling with an iron fist. You shouldn't expect your wife to "submit" to you. She's your equal. Treat her that way and you might be shocked at how things go. As it turns out, women are people too. Shocking stuff, for sure.

American males share this person's (I won't write man, because real men don't act this way) views. Unfortunately, I was raised in this culture although my own father, right wing though he was, did not believe or act aggressively towards women and certainly never struck my mother, nevertheless, I grew up in the suffocating world created by James Dobson, R.J. Rushdoony, Jerry Falwell and their ilk.

There is a new movement within the Fundamentalist sub-culture that is promoting the necessity of "spanking" your wife. Yes, even some Christian magazines have wrote about it -- while, in a very soft way, condemning it.

If you can handle the disgusting images and texts, Google it. Some really think this way and many wish it were safe to. Christian "Nationalism" is making it safer socially and politically.

Without this third of authoritarian, controlling males and some female codependents, Trump's rise would not have been possible.
